Even though we’re off to Jerusalem tomorrow I keep thinking of Metula.  The beautiful town that was just renovated last year has been bombed out and only a few have remained to keep it from being run over.  I know everyone will be thinking of Metula tomorrow, and will not stop wishing that next year they will not be in the gorgeous environment of Mishkenot Shaananim, or the Federation, or the Chan – but on the main street of Metula. 

I talked about it here
